The case of this radio is in excellent condition inside and out. Both knobs are original and fit tightly onto their shafts. The turning mechanism works well with no roughness or hangups. When plugged in the radio (after warmup of course) buzzes an will pick up only the most powerful station in the area. Dial light works. One antenna wire is loose. Wire diagrams and new tubes are readily available for this. model. I bought it with intent to restore it... but scored a mint condition butterscotch bakelite Fada model that I will be spending all my time on.
Photos show all six sides of case. They were taken with an iPhone 11 Pro Max which shows every speck and shadow in hi def. The case has no scratches or discolorations. All original except for the two screws and washers that hold the chassis to the case. The originals were sheet metal screws and have been replaced with machine screws as they can be more finely adjusted.
